re: Cannon's run question...

Cannon used to run the 100 meters in close to 10 seconds flat...

I would guess players were slower back then, but also, they played Iron man football Cannon played offense and defense, and may have been tired but definitley had speed to burn...

By all accounts Cannon was a track star at lsu as well, if your a true tiger fan you should already know this...

10.39 is not setting the world on fire, but it isn't much slower than many skill players in the SEC today.

actually 10.39 is fast as hell, and the average sec skill player does not run close to that fast... Mo Claiborne is our starting corner ran 10.7 in h.s, and Reggie Bush ran a 10.4...
Devery Henderson's best times were 10.3's and Eddie Kennison ran a 10.2 at best...

There's a reason people talk about how fast Cannon was, 10.39 is faassstttt!
